OK I have the solution:

SiteMapDataSource1.SiteMapProvider = "EngSiteMap";

and he recognizes it.

Thank you so much !

Well, I'm not sure i understand the meaning:
I put in my web.config:

<siteMap defaultProvider="HebSiteMap">
<providers>
<add name="HebSiteMap" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="~/SiteMap/MenuHeb.sitemap" />
<add name="EngSiteMap" type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider" siteMapFile="~/SiteMap/MenuEng.sitemap" />
</providers>
</siteMap>

In my Master page, where I want the menu, I have:

<asp:Menu ID="MainMenu" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" Orientation="Horizontal" Width="600px"></asp:Menu>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" />

And in my code I have:

SiteMapDataSource1.SiteMapProvider = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EngSiteMap"];

But I still get the "defaultProvider" from the web.config

But what do I miss ?

Hi,

What i understoond is that you have different pages for each langauge and you want to populte the menu control with the pages of the currently selected langauge , right?

You can create two SiteMapDatasources and set the Menu datasource for one of based on the lanague .

For Configuring multiple SiteMapDataSources , check :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178426.aspx

After configuring the datasources , you can set the menu DataSourceId property in code behind based on the current language:

for example, in Page_Laod of the masterPage:

If(  this.Page.UICulture=="en-US")
 Menu1.DataSourceId="EnglishSiteDataSource";
else
 Menu1.DataSourceId="OtherSiteDataSource";

asp:menu that depends on language

Hi,

I'm building a website that has two languages.
I have a asp:menu in it , while I want to transfer the language menuItems to English while
the selected language is English.
I used a resourse file (with meta:resourseKey etc...) for it, and it works, but the navigateUrl property
that doesn't work with it.
I thought to work with siteMap - a different siteMap to each language, so that the asp:menu
will take the menuItems from the appropriate siteMap.
Does anyone have any idea how to do it ?
The most important thing is that the url will work for each language.

Thanks.
